Leak: the second wave of the Galaxy S25 Edge launch is coming on May 21
Save the date: Galaxy S25 Edge coming to more regions on May 21
Some countries, it's not clear which ones, will see the S25 Edge debut on May 21. Presumably, this is referring to a second wave of availability. Ice Universe did warn that only two countries will be included in the initial launch: South Korea and China. Those aren't the only ones, however, Samsung Canada did have a slip-up that revealed the pricing. Here are some more unofficial details on specs and pricing.
We've also heard that there will be another wave on May 30, though that may be revised since the second wave was initially rumored for May 23, not the 21st.

Either way, the announcement should be followed by a short pre-order window with sales starting the week after the announcement, typically on a Friday.
We should get more clarity on the official timeline next week.

This year's Vision Pro contender is giving us what we needed from Apple's VR headset
*Image credit — Ice Universe For a while, there have been reports of an Apple Vision Pro contender being made by Chinese manufacturer Vivo. Now, there is further confirmation that the company understands where Apple went wrong, and is making sure that its upcoming headset doesn't fumble where it matters most. One of the biggest complaints for the Vision Pro — aside from the exorbitant price tag of $3,499 — was its comfort. Naturally, if an XR ( Extended Reality ) headset isn't pleasant to wear, it's not going to be a hit with the masses. The Vivo Vision, as it's being called, aims to tackle both comfort and price this year. A reliable insider has reported ( translated source ) that the Vivo Vision is going to be a much more comfortable headset to use for long periods of time. The headset has had its weight balanced to a degree that the user won't be feeling like one side of their head is heavier than the other. It will also likely be lighter, as Vivo will probably not use nearly as much glass as Apple did. Furthermore, the headset takes aim at the Vision Pro directly in other ways. The Vivo Vision looks very similar to Apple's premium MR ( Mixed Reality ) headset. It also reportedly lets the user navigate the UI in the same way as well: via hand gestures and eye tracking. Lastly, the content that users will get access to will apparently mirror that which is found on the Vision Pro . The Apple Vision Pro got uncomfortable to wear around the 30-minute mark. | Image credit — PhoneArena Of course, the Vivo Vision wouldn't be a real alternative if it didn't offer the same quality of experiences that the Vision Pro does. To that end, Vivo's headset will be powered by an excellent Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to directly challenge Apple's M2 processor. Additionally, the company has gone all out for the display, and it will be one of the best across the entire industry. And, perhaps most importantly of all, the Vivo Vision will almost certainly be more affordable than the Apple Vision Pro . Now all that remains to be seen is whether Samsung's upcoming Project Moohan, which also looks very much like Apple's headset, will be priced similarly or not.

Massive $400 discount hits the Galaxy S25 Edge in a lightning Amazon deal
Attention, bargain hunters! We've got the best Galaxy S25 Edge that's ever landed at Amazon to show you.

Amazon has launched a lightning deal that knocks a solid $400 off the device's full asking price, making it a much more tempting choice. This deal might vanish in just a few hours, so act fast and get the Titanium JetBlack model for $400 off while it lasts. Buy at Amazon That means you can buy the pricey $1,220 device for just under $820.

So, if you're after an ultra-slim flagship with solid performance and a seriously good discount, now's your chance to Samsung phone packs solid hardware inside an ultra-thin 5.88mm body. You have a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, which delivers exceptional visuals. However, as pointed out in our Galaxy S25 Edge review, this bad boy doesn't have the S25 Ultra's Gorilla Armor coating, so you won't get the same reflection-free experience. But it's not just the display that impresses. The device is also equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which provides enough potential for everyday browsing and demanding tasks alike. Even though it's slightly less capable than the Galaxy S25+ on the benchmark tests, it's still a proper flagship. Camera performance is impressive as well. With a 200MP main sensor on the rear, the Android phone captures memories with lifelike colors, crisp detail, and superb exposure. Simply put, it's a great option for mobile photography. Ultimately, the Galaxy S25 Edge brings a lot to the table. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but Samsung fans shouldn't miss out on this offer. Just a quick reminder — this is a lightning deal, so it will only be live for a limited time or until the limited stock runs out. Head to Amazon and save $400!

Galaxy S26 Ultra's big ace over predecessor revealed
Galaxy S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra | Image Credit - Phonearena The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will reportedly receive a power boost not just from a new-generation chip but also the latest RAM technology. Leaker Ice Universe has revealed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature low-power double data rate 5X (LPDDR5X) memory with a speed of up to 10.7 gigabits per second (Gbps). This component will apparently be sourced from memory producer Micron. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to have faster RAM than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Galaxy S25 Ultra , like most top Android phones powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite Mobile Platform, comes with LPDDR5X built on Micron's previous-gen 1β (1-beta) process technology and delivers speeds up to 9.6 Gbps. In contrast, the Galaxy S26 Ultra 's RAM will be based on Micron's 1γ (1-gamma) DRAM technology. Galaxy S26 Ultra's memory chip will be faster and more power efficient. | Image Credit - Micron Micron claims that its 1γ LPDDR5X offers the industry's fastest RAM speed — 10.7 Gbps — which makes it ideal for AI use cases and data-intensive apps. Users can expect faster response and result delivery times. 1γ LPDDR5X also enables up to 20 percent power savings compared to 1-beta LPDDR5X memory. This means that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will burn through its charge at a slower rate than the Galaxy S25 Ultra . The new component will also take up less space, coming in at just 0.61mm, potentially freeing up room for other components such as a larger camera sensor or a bigger battery. Alternatively, Ice may be hinting at Samsung's 10.7Gbps LPDDR5X DRAM, which was announced last year. It's based on the 12nm process technology and is also faster and more power-efficient, and space-efficient than the previous-gen tech. Last year, Samsung allegedly ran into some overheating issues, which is why 60 percent of Galaxy S25 devices featured Micron-made components. Though Samsung allegedly successfully fixed the LPDDR5X process issues, a June report said that it was testing Micron's LPDDR5X for the Galaxy S26 series. Regardless of which supplier the company goes for, buyers can look forward to similar benefits. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is also expected to feature an upgraded design and a thinner profile. This Galaxy S25 is doing quite well and an improved Galaxy S25 Ultra with speedier performance will help the company build on that success.
